The Washington Post recently published two good articles about alternatives to driving in the DC area, the development of communities adjacent to Metro stations, where people can live their lives without using a car, and people who walk to work, in some cases walking several miles. This area is going to have to do something drastic, like encouraging people to walk or bike or take transit to work, now that the attempt to delay implementation of stricter ozone controls in the DC area was thrown out in court. The Post is on a roll with good articles on why the air is so polluted in DC, with this article on subsidized parking for those commuters who insist on driving alone to work. The Federal government is one of the biggest culprits, paying as much as $1,200 per parking spot per year.
